Thanks! Hope you get the chance to give it a go!

@@theworldhiker1 thank you

@@stevenuseda6317 do it. I day summited shasta it I was pretty intense but it was amazing.

@adamstrickler111 I'd be so down to summit again to Pr my time. But I have vacation in June

Thanks for the kind words...I appreciate it! Hope you are able to get out and explore some of these beautiful places we are lucky to have access to!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😁

I agree...going light and fast makes a lot of sense to me too

Thanks..Appreciate it!

You are welcome! I always enjoy 1 day efforts to not have to take camping gear and extra food...hope you can go for it!

Thanks!

My pleasure! Glad you enjoy them

Thanks Yongsung! I get inspired by all the beautiful videos you make!

Hope you get to make it up!

Thanks!

Thanks! This was last March.

Thanks! This was last spring in March I think

Thanks 😊

It is a challenging route for sure!

It's a solid hike!

Thanks! I brought 3 liters of water and it was just enough for me. I run a lot and can go a little longer than some without much water

Perfect, thanks for sharing! Cheers

Thanks! We started right before sunrise around 6 am

I think it is doable in one day. Start early, check recent trip reports, and check the weather and wind conditions for sure.

Very dangerous to do without the snow on the avalanche gulch route due to frequent rockfall. Better to climb in may or early June on this route or if not climb via the clear creek route

Many years ago, I climbed Mt. Shasta via the Avalanche Gulch route, in mid-October. I climbed through the night, since there was a full moon for illumination. There was no snow on the entire route, except for crossing the summit snowfield, maybe a couple hundred feet, and quite level. I went through the Red Banks, an opening in the middle, where I could brace myself with both arms on the walls. Misery Hill was a cake walk, just a gentle climb for the rest of the hike. I had tried a couple of times earlier in the year with crampons and ice axe, but that steep climb from Helen Lake to the Red Banks always did me in, and I always had to do a few self-arrests after slipping in the snow. This time, I made it to the summit, and it was probably 70-degrees, sunny and warm. I've always regretted that I didn't take a sleeping bag and stay overnight on the summit, as is shown here on someone else's RU-vid video. I'd love to do it again, but I'll have to be content watching everybody else's videos!

You are most welcome

Yeah Shasta can get nasty sometimes 😀

This was in February a couple months ago

Go clear creek. Bring a caffeine tab or two, have fun and take some photos for me. Tag me when you're done.

I think the snow is melting quickly at lower elevations...I would try to go sooner than later to use crampons and not have to slide on the volcanic rock.

El Cap is longer, Shasta is much steeper...I'd say Shasta is a harder day overall

This was last spring
